Ecospherical Expansion

Ecospherical Expansion is a mod aimed towards recreating biomes with more diversity and aesthetically pleasing scenes. Additionally, this mod adds custom integration with the Large Biomes and Amplified world presets; While also adding 8 new world presets to choose from.

NEWER VERSIONS (1.21+):  This mod will not be updated anymore, it has been replaced by my newer mod https://modrinth.com/mod/hydrological

NOTE: Versions below 1.20.x do not have world presets. In those versions, this mod simply redoes the vanilla biomes.

Default: - Terrain above the surface is the same as vanilla. - Caves are now much more open. - Oceans now lead into sprawling cave systems.
